My temps are bad sign

This is my first month temping and I think it has taken the guessing out of the tww. I ovulated a week ago Friday and my post o temps have remained constant at 98.5 and today 98.3. If implantation had occurred I believe my temp would have shot up. I guess that means I'm out. So disappointed again.

I think you are exactly where I am at 8dpo? I think you still have a shot for another temp rise. My temps Rose after ovulation and I had a dip At 4dpo and rise at 5dpo(read its just hormone shift). My next temp dropped .2 and next one .1 and this morning it leveled the same. I'm keeping out hope for another temp shift between now and 12 dpo. :) your not out yet!!! GL

@mcgeelisha I'm one day behind you at 7dpo. I didn't know about the slight fluctuations being ok but I did think that after a week the temps were supposed to rise. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us both.

Yah from what I've been told were not suppose to pay attention necessarily to each temp but more so the overall chart. The fluctuations are ok ... You could still get a rise between now and 12 dpo!!!! Let's hope for a higher temp shift!!!! :)

Now you have me wondering. I had the dip then spike for ovulation and the temps stayed high and the same. Now my temp rose even higher. Isn't that too early? I'm new at this. Guess I'll just hope that they stay high

Your still pretty early so just keep charting. It may go up or down a little or stay high....and nothing wrong with that. We want our temps to stay above our cover line. But an added sustainable temp shift during implantation time would be an added bonus!! GL ladies!!!

From everything that I've read, your temp will stay up around where it is at ovulation, and there wont be another spike, but instead it will either go down once your period comes or continue to stay up... 18 days of temps around the high means that a person is likely pregnant.

Except when another temp rise happens. Mine rose after ovulation for 3 days - then significant dip at 4dpo(I hear it's not implantation but another normal hormone shift) and then it spiked to my highest temp yet and stayed at another level of temps above my first post ovulation temps. so currently my temps are at a higher level of post ovulation temps. Somewhat of a "triphasic" chart, but ff doesn't consider it triphasic until it rises again between 6-12 dpo. :) GL!!!!

@NYGemini I wouldnt be so quick to think that, last month u started charting temps and I had a slight dip at 5dpo and then shot up at 6dpo and stayed up until the day before af showed her ugly self so temps can be a bit misleading!!

@NYGemini No, temps don't necessarily rise again. That's a myth and only happens in some charts, and when it does happen is after implantation. Implantation happens anywhere on average from 7-10 days, give or take a couple of days. GL!!!

@mcgeelisha Gosh, I read this and figured I was out because I'm 8 dpo and really have no symptoms and no temp rise since ovulation. Is there still hope?

@mcgeelisha So constant temps are ok? Mine are at 98.5 and today 98.3. By my cover line is in the 97's. I use the website taking charge of your fertility to keep track and it sets your cover. Good luck everyone!!

@NYGemini As far as I can tell once your temp stays above the cover line your still in!! But it doesn't have to be very high

You should get on fertility friend and look at charts. You can see all the pregnancy charts. Its definitely ok to dip that tiny amount! It can't just keep rising everyday! Looking at those hundreds of charts will give you knowledge on how even pregnant charts dip and go up. ;) Gl!

I was doing a little chart comparisons to my own. Seems the common factor occurred on day 13 & 14 .... Temp either dropped significantly and fell below the coverline) indicating AF was about to show up) or it continued to stay high indicating preg. One good thing about temping is you don't have to waste preg tests every month because it indicates the impending arrival of AF. Also a good way to track any cycle probs. on 9 dpo and temp moved up .3. Holding out hope :) GL ladies!!!
